Reading the Book of the Heart from the Middle Ages to the 21st Century: a Valentine's Day feature "A monument of medieval scholarship with profound implications for our understanding of the changing relationship between writing, mind, and what it means to be human at millennium's end. Jager moves easily and brilliantly between the study of ideas, the physical conditions surrounding the passage from scroll to codex, and visual representations of the heart."—R. Howard Bloch, Augustus R. Street Professor of French, Yale University
